00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,160

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: that you were born on the best day ever everybody

00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,520

00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: the movie Rad because it's the best movie ever, the

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: What movie? Rad? That's adorable, Christie. This is Christie and

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: I were unfortunately thrown together, and now I'm stuck with

34
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: her because she doesn't know Ron so sad. Is it

35
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: a generational thing? I don't know. I no, No, it's

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: just not understanding. Awesomeness is what it comes down. I know,

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: top Gun? Is it like that? Oh? Do you hear?

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: This is what I do. I'm googling. I'm googling. Sorry,

39
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: top Gun. Top Gun wishes I thank you, okay, And

40
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: I know this is Stanley friendly and I'm gonna work it.

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: But top Gun has men, for whatever reason, wearing jeans

42
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: denim at the beach playing volleyball because that's what you

43
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: do when you're sweating. And no, no, that's not what

44
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: you do when you're rad. When you're rad, you go sliding.

45
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: No you can say slightly, we'll get a sliding. And

46
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: there is sliding. There is, Christie, I swear to you,

47
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: there is, with the utmost sincerity, a line delivered in

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: it which will be forever the most romantic thing that

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: a man has ever said to a woman. Just before

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: that grown man is going to go on his BMX

51
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: bike race on health track that he looks at Lori

52
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: Laughlin and says, God, what I wouldn't give to go

53
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: as slighting with you right now? It's genius. Stop, you

54
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: know you're right, Roger. I'm sorry. I'm just saying so

55
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: interesting you have lived. You need to see this steaming

56
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: dial of a movie and a slighting apparently, and to

57
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: give you an indication of what ass slighting actually is.

58
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: It's the storm runoff concrete drainage ditch of what must

59
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: be medical waste that dumps into I'm assuming there are

60
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: small town's water supply and the river and Lori Laughlin

61
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: and oh my god, I can't believe I'm forgetting his name.

62
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: The actor's um it's it's because you know, I don't

63
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: know anything Crew Crew Jones is the Jones is the character,

64
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: and I can believe anyway. So the two of them

65
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: put their butts into this sludge and somehow without destroying themselves,

66
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: but we don't know that good thing exactly go down

67
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: this concrete, you know, like flume of of medical waste

68
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: into the and it's just and it's that's what they do.

69
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: That is the the You were at the crux of

70
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the film where it's the falling in love montage. It's

71
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: this is the house Stoker film. By the way, so

72
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: we're talking smoking the bandit, which I mean, like some incredible,

73
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It was made for nine dollars in like

74
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: a week and a half. It's the best movie you guys,

75
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: how did you? Yeah, they wish obviously they didn't write well.

76
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: First of all, I'd like to point out that my

77
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: wife calls top Gun the volleyball movie. So that's a

78
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: very important scene. That's what she does. She's like, are

79
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: you watching the volleyball movie? Yeah? Okay, so that's all

80
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 1: she cares about. She doesn't even know there's planes in it.

81
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure there's another volleyball movie.

82
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: From what people have been posting online. In SloMo, these

83
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: guys are doing things shirtless that ladies are like very

84
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: very interesting. In Top Gun two, you mean no, of

85
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: course they brought you, but no rad True like nobody

86
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: made Radhi is ridiculous. Can we talk very quickly, Roger

87
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: about why the two old men who run the race

88
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: track are at the high school dance? Do you know

89
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: any reason why they're there? Podcast? You don't understand? Okay?

90
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: So literally, Christie, like so like this is going back

91
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: to the birthday thing. So Will and I were in

92
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: a session together and I forget how it happened, but

93
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: something happened where in the break room one of us

94
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: can I can't tell? No one of us started singing

95
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: Send Me an Angel. So again, so Christie, you want

96
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: to ruin that song for you? From Forever watch the

97
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: What is clearly a man, clearly a young man in

98
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: a wig? Who is Lori Laughlin stunt double in this film?

99
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: As if she Lori's character was on a bike and

100
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: there's a romantic like duo bike dance prom dance scene.

101
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: You cannot believe what this movie does and where it

102
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: goes best and it is the best. It's incasible acting

103
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: and bike movies to a whole another level. Without a doubt,

104
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: I thought BMX Bandits did it, which was, of course,

105
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: as everybody knows, Nicole Kitman's first film back in Australia,

106
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: BMX Bandits. Where these three BMX kids find. Do they

107
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 1: find drugs? No? Do they find guns? No? They find

108
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: illegal walkie talkies, which is what the entire film is about.

109
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: It's brilliant. How does this not Roger? How are we

110
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: not doing a podcast? Justin literally you so so Christie

111
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: to give you like an indication. So this happened like

112
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like yes, send me an angel,

113
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: and like all of a sudden wills like dude, and

114
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: and it was like and he and I and then

115
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: we start quoting it. We start like we start talking

116
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: about like how much like I burned a hole in

117
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: my VHS copy kind of thing, And then to our lament,

118
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: we could not find like like supposedly the story was

119
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: for the longest time, all of the controlling factions that

120
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: existed with ownership of this film, all that you couldn't

121
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: find a dv literally, people were selling DVD copies for

122
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars that they had just burned from the

123
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: vhs because you could not find it. It was meanwhile

124
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: available on YouTube for free in its entirety. And then

125
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I don't remember how or whatever,

126
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: but it's like I was in like a little town

127
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: in Idaho, and all of a sudden, I on my

128
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: Apple TV rad the movie popped up as available for

129
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: like a full HDW HD. But you know it's like

130
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: upscaled time exactly four k as like exactly in IMAX,

131
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: and its original. It's literally scope you can really. I'm

132
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: texting Will. I'm like, dude, it is on Apple TV,

133
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like I'm buying every version of it. I'm like,

134
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: I bought T shirts. It's like I brought my we

135
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: brought our brothers T shirts. We did all. I mean,

136
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: it was it is. Have you met any of the

137
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: people from the cast at a comic connor An? Okay,

138
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: I just I don't. Okay. I am so sorry, and

139
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: you can cut this out. Okay, I'm gonna take thirty seconds.

140
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: I'm literally gonna run upstairs and gonna come right back.

141
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: I just realized I can. Okay, sorry, yourselves, do it.

142
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: Christie ask will can we do it? We gotta do.

143
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: It's gotta be something related to rad But I mean like,

144
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: I'll walk her through the I'll walk her through the nuances. Okay,

145
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: the nuances said no one ever about third set the Okay,

146
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: it's so important. So because what happens is Crew Jones loses.

147
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: By the way, for everybody out there just listening to us,

148
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Roger Kig Smith literally not podcast, I hope. So, because

149
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: that's what it should be about, is all about rad Um.

150
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: He loses his sponsorship. It has no it's been perfectly railed.

151
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: So he loses his sponsorship. Crew Jones loses his sponsorship.

152
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: And to get it back, they make these T shirts

153
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: and they sell these T shirts so they can earn

154
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: money to spont to get sponsorship. What do those T

155
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: shirts say? Wait? Wait, just because if I know my

156
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: friend Roger Craig Smith, he's getting his red Man. I

157
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: did not the fastest that I had to go get

158
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: I can't my headphones are now, how in the world

159
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: did you get that on so quickly? He's because he's

160
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: the amazing Roger. That is much rad Race seeing that

161
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: is much better. Yes, we can't and if we don't

162
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: if we aren't allowed to have our local people ride

163
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: this track, then we better just live with it, live

164
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: with it the best and the like. Every now and

165
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: then I want to do the old like the it's Christie.

166
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: It is so bad and it's like it's like cartoon

167
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: mustache twirling without the mustache. The mustache twirling effect of

168
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: the bad guy in this is this weird adnoidal knock.

169
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: That's the bad guy. He's the bad like millionaire. You know,

170
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: you want to know the best thing is he is

171
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: in two of my favorite movies. He's in Brad and

172
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: Ishtar and Oh my God, two of my favorite movies

173
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: of all time. Okay, okay, I'm so sorry speaking of cartoon. Alright,

174
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: So for all, here's what we're actually gonna start. Unfortunately,

175
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: but we're keeping we're keeping all the rad stuff in

176
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm we have to, Roger, let's talk a little bit

177
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: about cartoons and animation, about how would you start? Um No,

178
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: So let's start first of all with exactly this wouldn't

179
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: have happened? And this this makes me so happy because

180
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: I have not will in so long, and there was

181
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: there was this thing that happened in I don't know

182
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: if you guys. Um, we're aware of it to kind

183
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: of like it really to put a damper on in

184
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: person recordings. And so I don't know what I'm gonna

185
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: see Will again. And I've been saving this for so

186
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: long too. If I knew I was going to be

187
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: in the booth with Will, I was wearing this. So

188
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: really I'm waiting for the proverbia little sister to jump

189
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: off and just start kicking someone in the shin like

190
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: you do. Um. Okay, so we normally start with all

191
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: the animation stuff, but I want to start differently with

192
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: you because you are a lot of really amazing video

193
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: game characters. Okay, I mean we're talking Resident Evil, we're

194
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: talking Assassin's Creed, we're talking Sonic the Hedgehog. Here, it's

195
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: like you name it, you've done it so far. Knock

196
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: on wood, I can, yeah, exactly, Just so everybody knows,

197
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: um it says. I'm now announcing this on I hear voices.

198
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: I was just cast his Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm very excited. Dang,

199
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: you get started. I'm kidding. I was gonna say it

200
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: was the longest running Sonic the Hedgehog, right even two. No,

201
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: so we always asked this question, and we always get

202
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: the same answer, and I don't expect a different answer

203
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: from you because it's the kind of the standard answer

204
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: we have. But video game recording versus uh, you know,

205
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: straight up animation recording, is there one you prefer or not?

206
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: So well? Uh, you know, I guess it, well, because

207
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: they're they're they're different beasts all together. So it's kind

208
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: of like it's interesting sometimes animation goes so quick because

209
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: you just it's like you have a finite amount of

210
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: time to get this stuff done, and it's you're doing

211
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: twenty two minute episode kind of a thing or eleven

212
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: minute episodes. It's like it's all shaved down into very

213
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: very fast kind of record sessions. Um. And so I

214
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: don't know that you get to spend as much time

215
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: with your characters. And with video games, you can have

216
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: like an insane amount of dialogue to record over the

217
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: course of an entire game that might have thirty to

218
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: sixty hours if not more, of gameplay. So you have

219
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more time to kind of like live

220
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: in a character, if you will. But that said, the

221
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: scope of work that you have to do with video

222
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: games is huge in comparison to a lot of animated work,

223
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: and therefore the taxation on the voice. It's very taxing

224
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: on the voice to do some of the video game stuff,

225
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: and because you're covering all of the unknowns of the

226
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: interactive world, such as bumping into a wall, falling down

227
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: a flight of stairs, getting glass shoved in your eyes,

228
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: being on fire, now having glass shoved in your eyes,

229
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: being on fire, bumping into a wall, then falling down

230
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: a flight of stairs, all at the same time, all

231
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: those sounds you have to cover, so it's they can

232
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: really kind of blow your voice out, and so it's

233
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: kind of like a love hate relationship, and yet the

234
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of people will know you, I think more

235
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: often for video games because it's they spend again, it's

236
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: an interactive form of entertainment, so they develop stronger connections

237
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: I think with video game characters and then do with

238
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: animated characters at times. So it's like it's just kind

239
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: of bizarre. It's it's it's weird to even be on

240
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: a podcast talking about that sort of thing, because you

241
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: you you begin to start to see the way the

242
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: world is consuming what we go in and do as

243
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: the job, and how it's how it alters and and

244
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: the the experience that people have with the passive form

245
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: of entertainment of like an animated series or that kind

246
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: of thing, is like that they're not really becoming the

247
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: character or as when they play a video game they

248
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: become you, you know, or they or they interact with

249
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: you in a way for so much longer than they

250
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: do with just kind of watching you know a flick

251
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: um do you now? Do you play these games yourself? Poorly? Yes?

252
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: I always try to try ironic how you know, he

253
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: can't play well this The gray is starting to like

254
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: I literally so. The most recent game that I was

255
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to be a part of it just exploded,

256
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: was Apex Legends, and that's like a I mean, it's

257
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: a it's a massive what do they call it, It's

258
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: a it's a battle royal style of game and tournament style.

259
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: The gameplay is so fast. And the joke I always

260
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: make is I'm the old guy from Shawshank when he

261
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: gets out and and he goes that went and got

262
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: it shelf in a big damn hurry, and it's like,

263
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's talking about cars, and meanwhile I'm playing

264
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: video games now, and I'm like, I cannot keep up

265
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: with this game. I cannot do blow into them now

266
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: and like all sorts of random do you really do

267
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: you actually really do that? Um? Yeah, Brendan has a

268
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: what is it? What is the most reason I want

269
00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: to PS six? I think right, I think the most

270
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: six and you can like blow into it. It's to

271
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: do certain activations and the game play and stuff like that,

272
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: and you have to ridiculous. I think the last system

273
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: I had was it wasn't Atari Jaguar, Like no joke.

274
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of, like you know, blowing into something was

275
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: always the game cartridge on like a Nintendo to work

276
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: to get my contra wasn't working right, so you got

277
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: you got to do that. Roger, you said something really

278
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: interesting which we haven't covered with other guests on the show,

279
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: which is that people who are more people Christie, if

280
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: you've seen had Bunny Chance you guys, it's a family

281
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: friendly show. I sort of like the thing you sorry

282
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: your question, It's okay, okay. So when you when you

283
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: said was really interesting, which is your like you know, um,

284
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: when I meet fans or when you know you're you're

285
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: sort of like talking about your work here and you're

286
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: saying that people are are playing you, and that that

287
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: there's this sort of surreal experience with that engagement. Can

288
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: you just speak about that? I mean, that's something that

289
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: I don't think we've talked about will with other guests. Well,

290
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: it's something funny, I mean much to your your your question.

291
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean it was like I I don't think I

292
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: even thought about it, because again, we go in for

293
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: the job, and you go in and you're fixated and

294
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: focused on the job, and it's it's uh and I'm

295
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: I'm coming fresh off of a convention this this path weekend,

296
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: so of course it's like, all of a sudden, I

297
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 1: am so focused on Okay, what am I doing? Am

298
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: I providing what I need to form my clients from

299
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: my director for I'm rarely thinking about the end product

300
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: because if I do or fixate or focus on that,

301
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to freak myself out. I'm not going to

302
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: be present, I'm not gonna be listening to the director

303
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So you're you're always just kind

304
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: of living in this little bubble, this mental like radio

305
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: thing that's happening, and it's it's theater of the mind

306
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: very often because you don't see the visuals you don't

307
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: know what you're doing, you're kind of early in the process,

308
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: and then it comes out and I will I'll play

309
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: the game that kind of thing to kind of see

310
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: what was the collective sort of creative collaboration that everybody

311
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: wanted to execute on uh, and then go, oh, wow,

312
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: that's why we did it that way, or oh that's

313
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: what they meant by that, or oh, now it makes

314
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: sense what they were doing. But it's usually just sort

315
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: of a satisfaction on my part to do that, and

316
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: I don't I'm experiencing it from such a very different

317
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: way that it's not until you go and and meet

318
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: somebody who might share with you, like a very real

319
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: story of I had a surgery that was necessary, and

320
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: I was I was laid out in the hospital for

321
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: six months of my life, and the only escapism that

322
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: I had was games to to occupy my mind and

323
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: to distract me from the pain and all that. And

324
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: I played Assassin's Creed too religiously and wanted to solve

325
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: every single thing. And so I fell in love with

326
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: being this character kind of thing. And now you were

327
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: just the closest sort of tangible representation as one of

328
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: the voice actors for it, and you suddenly go, oh, weird, Yeah,

329
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: I never think about the fact that what I'm doing

330
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: will be something other than being nervous short man in

331
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: the booth, you know, wanting to do his job really

332
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: well and please everybody behind the glass. I don't think

333
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: of it in that that sort of experiential way. And

334
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: and it seems like in comparison to animation the people

335
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: that play because it's interactive, because you are essentially going

336
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: along to try to have that suspension of disbelief and

337
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: to kind of leave the world behind become this live

338
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: in this video game world as long as you can,

339
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: you don't think of it that way. It's it's it's

340
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: something that you just don't realize that that that's exactly

341
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: what's happening for people when they go and they play

342
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: these things. Being a part of the industry is ruined

343
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: a lot of this for me, including even just watching

344
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: television commercials, so that kind of thing, because my brains

345
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: just instantly going, I wonder why they chose to do that,

346
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: or oh man, that must have been like holacious for

347
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: that voice actor to have to say all those words,

348
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: or you know, you start thinking of it from like

349
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: a production standpoint, UM. And so when you get to

350
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: see that, people experience what you're doing in that way

351
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: far more with UM the interactive world. I see that

352
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: every now and then there are productions that come along

353
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: to do an exceptional job, but they're they're usually long

354
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: form and very dramatic UM, which is not necessarily the

355
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: most popular form of animation work because it tends to

356
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: be short and funny and fast and big and over

357
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: the top and broad and that kind of thing. So

358
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know. It's it's been something that

359
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: as I've gotten older that I I can understand and

360
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: start to realize like, oh wow, yeah, this interactive thing

361
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: is really Now with VR, it's even even more immersive. UM.

362
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's uh, it's kind of a trip. It's

363
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: weird to think, oh, yeah, that's right, that what I

364
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: consider to be my job and I want to execute

365
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: on the job becomes this character that other people have animated,

366
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: other people have written for all this, you know, this

367
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: collaborative thing comes together into this one thing and people

368
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: experience it in in a way that I never will.

369
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: But it's neat When you can see that it has

370
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: an impact, it's cool. That's got to be really gratifying.

371
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: It is, but it's also kind of like strange. It's

372
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: it's like, I also got a kind of ruin the

373
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: game for you a little bit. Yeah, I don't want

374
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: to play this. I I you know, I did the

375
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: entire thing. I know exactly how to do it, and

376
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: I know where it's going, and I know all this stuff,

377
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: and I know what it took to make it, and I,

378
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: you know, and now to have to also learn forty

379
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: two buttons to make it work. Uh, is not exactly

380
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: what I'm looking forward and below and blow. Yeah, Yeah,

381
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Now do you do any mo cap or

382
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: is it all straight voice acting? So for the longest time,

383
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: this is funny, like like one of the first times

384
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: that mo cap was starting to like the early sort

385
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: of technology was they've scaled it down, not scaled it down,

386
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: but they found a way to make me no longer

387
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: mo cap as like a portly thirteen year old boy,

388
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: because I'm only five ft five And I remember going

389
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: in for an audition. This is probably man twelve years

390
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: ago or something like that. If not, I don't, I

391
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: guess it was a while ago. And I walked in

392
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: and I looked at the sides and all of a sudden,

393
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: like at the top of the thing, it says, we

394
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: we do to performance captured. We need actors who are

395
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: at least five nine and above and I and I,

396
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I found myself going, oh my god,

397
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm too short for a voice roll. It was

398
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: like it was like this is happening now, and since

399
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: then they've found a way to make it work, thankfully.

400
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: But UM, so I do some performance capture, like for

401
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: a lot of the trailers for Apex Legends, we we

402
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: started doing uh like you know, sound stage performance capture, UM,

403
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: a lot of facial motion capture, that kind of thing.

404
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: UM just sat started with already five back doing the

405
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: Chris Redfield stuff. With Resident Evil five we did the

406
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: the old reflective you know, glued on ball thing that

407
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: you know that was a lot of fun. When you

408
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: sweat would fall off, I was gonna say, how does that?

409
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: What do they glue it on with? Just like crazy.

410
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: Yet there was a time we're peeling that stuff off,

411
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: like it was just red marks all over my face.

412
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: You know. It was like, yeah, you're just always walking

413
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: around my call Razor guy. Yeah, exactly so so wept.

414
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: Um yeah, no, it's uh so I do some of

415
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: that stuff, but um, but not not too much of it.

416
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: Um I'm I'm honestly, it's like I mean, for for

417
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: you to bridge the gap between on camera and and

418
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: v O and whatnot, will it's like I the minute

419
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: you get me with a camera or anything like that,

420
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: I am so utterly self conscious that that it's just

421
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: lately I can't Yeah, I can't do it. And it's

422
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: and it's and it goes. It speaks to my own

423
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: insecurities about being short or gray or whatever it might be,

424
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: or like you know, oh this is too form fitting

425
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: or not form fitting enough or whatever it might be.

426
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: I just like my brains like no, no no, no, I

427
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: love being where it's like, okay, I can just kinda

428
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: all I have to do is is I don't have

429
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: to think about me or worry about anything. I just

430
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: get to do this vocal performance kind of a thing

431
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: and let it become something else. Yeah. So we've also

432
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: talked about how actors as a group are the most

433
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: insecure human beings you will have to ever meet in

434
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: your life. Like everybody, it's oh that they're so sure

435
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: of themselves and to a to a person, an actor

436
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: is the most insecure puddle of goo you will ever

437
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: meet anywhere. Yeah, um, so it's but it's also it's

438
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: it's interesting because we have another connection that you and

439
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: I've talked about a lot, well, connection in a strange way.

440
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: You started in stand up and one of the things

441
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: that made that connection, which is very very strange, is

442
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: my brother in law, my oldest brother in law is

443
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: in stand up and you guys worked together, You and West.

444
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's crazy. So West is my brother

445
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: and I married West. Good lord man, you and I are,

446
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: we do. We have the big, very bizarre we are.

447
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: But you're exactly a year older than me. So very strange. Um.

448
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: But but there is that again that lends itself to

449
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: anybody who's met stand ups. It's also some of the

450
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: most insecure human beings that you will ever meet in

451
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: your life. So how did you get from wanting to

452
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: be on stage making people laugh to just nope, I

453
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: want to behind the microphone. And that's where I'm going,

454
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: I think because people in the industry, we're letting me

455
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: know that you shouldn't keep doing what you're doing with

456
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: this stand up thing like quite literally, will like it

457
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: was like, uh, there was a group of us and

458
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: West would recall because we worked at the improv done

459
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: on Earth Find a lot Um. We were really luckily

460
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: lucky that there was a guy by the name of

461
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: Jeff Jenna that that ran that um that club for

462
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: a long time and man, I don't even know what

463
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: they do now, but he allowed local. This was in Irvine,

464
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: Orange County, California. I moved here in Austin. Yeah, okay,

465
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: I've been. I've been to that venue and they do

466
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: seem very nice. It was really really cool. It was

467
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: really neat. And this is back in the late nineties.

468
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: Um that it was like he was fostering uh that

469
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: room and on Wednesday nights they were dark, they had

470
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: nothing going on at the club, and so he decided, um,

471
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: or maybe it was Monday nights. I think Monday nights

472
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: they were just closed. And he thought, you know what,

473
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: we're missing out on an opportunity for income. And he said,

474
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: what if we start doing an open mic night. But

475
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: it's not an open mic, it's that he was going

476
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: to vet. He's he was a professional and still is

477
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: professional comedian who was having to manage the thing, and

478
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: he um started allowing those of us to come in.

479
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: We would on a regular night you would get I

480
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: think it was two minutes are three minutes good good

481
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: long set, a good long set. You audition on like

482
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: a Wednesday night for like a college show where like

483
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: a lot of comics would work a Wednesday through Sunday.

484
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: Wednesday night they would go do colleges and universities. During

485
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: the day, they do radio interviews. Then on Wednesday night

486
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: they might do a show for like a college age

487
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: crowd or that kind of thing. And he would allow

488
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: those of us that we're trying out for the Monday

489
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: night open mic to come up and do like three

490
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: minutes as like a as a tryout set. And then

491
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: once you got anointed, you were allowed to come in

492
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: and do workouts and you would do that open mic

493
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: Monday night thing kind of regularly, and and you would

494
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: get six minutes, seven minutes, that kind of thing. So

495
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: you could develop what they would call like an industry

496
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: standard seven minute you know, industry showcase set. And at

497
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: one point we started getting better, we started working. This

498
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: is years later he got us a showcase to to

499
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: try out for the Aspen Comedy festival. There was a

500
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: woman that was there to evaluate about ten of us

501
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 1: and we did a special night. Ten of us go up,

502
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: we do our sets, we end, the audience leaves, we

503
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: get back up on stage, and she started critiquing us,

504
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: and she goes down the line and saying, you, you know,

505
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: why are you doing props? You're not a prop comic,

506
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: but you have a really great outlook on the world.

507
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: Ditch the props, stick with your outlook. You're funny. The

508
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: next person, she goes, you're speaking too fast. You gotta

509
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: slow down and let your jokes land. I know you

510
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: want to get your comes down to me. I was

511
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: like eight out of the tenth and she goes, who

512
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: represents you for a voice over? And I went, uh, nobody,

513
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: And she goes, huh, you do a lot of characters

514
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: and voices and you're actually be good at that. And

515
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: then she just moved on. She didn't say anything about

516
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: my stand up, and I was like the beginning to think, now,

517
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 1: after years of doing it and that kind of thing,

518
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: you start hosting and m seeing like little charity fundraisers

519
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: and stuff where you're doning, you're doing the auction for

520
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, all these people that have been there playing

521
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: golf for some charity benefit. Now you're running the auction,

522
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: but you're also doing stand up in between and that

523
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And you'd have these people go like, oh,

524
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: you've got a speaking voice. Are you like, did you

525
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: do Toastmasters or are you a radio DJ? Or do

526
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: you do voiceovers? You know that? And you'd be like,

527
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's like I don't know. And then finally

528
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: with that Aspen Comedy Festival thing, I was like, she

529
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: said nothing about my stand up and told me to

530
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: go bark up a different tree. And the following week

531
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I gotta that's an industry

532
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: professional who sees nothing but comedians every day of her life,

533
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: and she was telling me you might want to go

534
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: consider this. Started looking into it, tooking, taking some some

535
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: training classes, things like that workshops, and then found out

536
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: that I'm like, Okay, this is a blend of everything

537
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: that I kind of liked. It was like doing stand up,

538
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to, you know, entertain the people that

539
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: are behind the glass. It's sort of up to me

540
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: in that moment, which is what I liked about stand up.

541
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: Um the crafting of and and the changing things around

542
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: and working on stuff. But it was also my screen

543
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: Screenwriting was my major in college, and it was like

544
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a part of a production. I

545
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: liked being kind of behind the scenes and it was

546
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: sort of the best of all worlds. It was like

547
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: being the talent without having to entertain drunk people at

548
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: a bar um and uh and and so it became

549
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: something that I just all of a sudden, I found

550
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: myself going, I like this, this is I feel like

551
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm a part of a team. I feel like I'm

552
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: a part of a production, but I still get to

553
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: have that creative outlet of the performance side of things.

554
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: So it just all of a sudden became And it

555
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: also the long story short is it paid and comedy

556
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: was really not very good at paying you did you

557
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: did just enough voice over to keep you in comedy? Yeah,

558
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: there you go exactly for a while. There there are

559
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: so many people that you know, come up come up

560
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,959
Speaker 1: to us, and they're always like, hey, you know, how

561
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: do you get into it? So it's really cool to

562
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: hear your story. It's very different than a lot of

563
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: people's story. But it also is it's so organic, like

564
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: when I hear your voice. Immediately, I'm like, oh, he's

565
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: got a he's got a really special voice. He must

566
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: have known this his whole lot. But how great. So

567
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: did you always like to play with voices even as

568
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: a kid. Was that just something you kind of did

569
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: or I think so? I mean, like I was. I

570
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: think as a kid it was mimicry. It was like

571
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: the first for you know, form of comedy is that

572
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: you realize, Okay, I mean I enjoyed like making my

573
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: friends laugh, and you know, to this day, I'm because like, yeah,

574
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: I wonder what was all about. Like if if you know,

575
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: when I was like five and six years old, if

576
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: if a buddy of mine fell off his bike and

577
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: skinned his knee and started crying or something, I'd make,

578
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, fart sounds or do silly voices or something

579
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: just to try to like get the the anguish to stop. Um.

580
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: But it was, yeah, I think back to like making

581
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 1: especially like little boys do this when they when they

582
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: go out and play army Guy. They're making all their

583
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: little you know, explosion sounds and stuff like that, and

584
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: playing with dinosaurs. I can remember my mom telling a

585
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: story about I think I was homesick or something like that.

586
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: And they had to take me to work, and so

587
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: my mom had me just in the corner of this

588
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: office and I was playing with my dinosaur toys or something.

589
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: But I was going like like making all these sounds

590
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: and stuff, and somebody in the office was like, what

591
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: the hell is going on? You know, like what is

592
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: that sound? And uh And somebody came around the corners

593
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: like that he's making those sounds. And I didn't think

594
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: anything of it, but it was just stuff that. Yeah,

595
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: and now we say this all the time. Everything you

596
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: got got in trouble when I was in high school

597
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: that would literally get you kicked out of classes is

598
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: what you get paid to do. Now they're like, do

599
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: more of that. Soy okay. So we've talked about this.

611
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: that was there. And then you're playing with Transformers and

612
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: you're doing the voices of everything that is there. So

613
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: you're I mean, I know that. I won't talk about

614
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: my varience, but I know that when you then get

615
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: to be a part of something that was important to

616
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: you growing up, because I know one of the first,

617
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: not one of the first, but one of the many

618
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: shows you and I did together was Transformers. So when

619
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: you get to join in a cast where it is

620
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: something you grew up watching, does that still take you

621
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: right back to being eight years old? Yes, And dude,

622
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: talk about talk about the surreal nature of you and

623
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: I being in the same room with Peter Cullen and

624
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: like hearing hearing in like not through tiny, bad nineteen

626
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: that voice, you know that that iconic sound, like all

627
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, just like the front of your pants

628
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: are shaking, you know, because the base is vibrating the

629
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: entire room. That you're in when you hear Optimist Prime

630
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: say anything um from a foot away from and he's

631
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: talking to you. Yes, nuts, you mentioned this in p

632
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: well y have because I mean the first time it happened,

633
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: he went bumblebee and I we all had a huge

634
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: smiles on our face and it took about thirty seconds

635
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: before I realized, Oh, he's talking to me, like I

636
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: have to answer him. Cary Peyton was crying. I said,

637
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean it was like there was a bunch of

638
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: forty something year old man in the room fighting back

639
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: tears because it just brings you right back. But I mean,

640
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: so you must have felt the same way because another

641
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: thing we did, we did a number of together, as

642
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: you've played Batman in a number of different versions of

643
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: different different Batman. But it's true, I mean you were so.

644
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean did we do We did un the Unlimited

645
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: films here, Yeah, we did. So what I mean, how

646
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: many times let let's start there, how many times have

647
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: you played Batman? Uh? Not like not all that many.

648
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's uh it was origins Unlimited like Blackgate

649
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: Prison thing that was like a little handheld spin off

650
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: for oh god, what have the with the ps Vita

651
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: was that what it's called, right, wasn't the PlayStation Vita

652
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: or something like that? Like maybe they always come up

653
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: with the new stuff like hey, um, yeah it was

654
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: for in television. Um. And then red Son and Batman Ninja.

655
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: I think I think that that does it. I think

656
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: so you and I were in Batman Ninja together and

657
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: re Unlimited Movies, which is which that Batman Ninja was

658
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: was really cool. Sorry, we're just seeking out. It was

659
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, I want to hear both of your Batman

660
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: so like, while you guys are still what, you're still here,

661
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: I want to do Rogers bat Rogers Batman Batman. Roger

662
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: is is Bruce Wayne Batman. So I'm Terry McGinnis Batman.

663
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: So to two totally different things, which is you know

664
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: he had he's the next he was the next on

665
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: the list for a while of of of Bruce Wayne Batman.

666
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't have to what is that like,

667
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: let's just talk about that very quickly because we had

668
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: Kevin Connray on the show Who's the Man, the Myth

669
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: the Legends Louise yea, So how do you step again?

670
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: People have said like, oh god, you're will You're a

671
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: great Batman what is it like to play Batman? And

672
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: I always get to say it was easy for me

673
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: because I had no shoes to fill, Like I was

674
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: Terry McGinnis. I'm to this day still better McGinnis. So

675
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: what is it like to know that you are stepping

676
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: into the mantle of Bruce Wayne Batman? So I don't think.

677
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: So it's interesting because I the this came to be

678
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: when I landed Arkham Origins, and because it was an

679
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: origin story, they wanted to go with younger actors to

680
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: portray uh, you know, the Joker and Batman at earlier

681
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: times in their career, and so it was I don't know,

682
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny. I when I got the gig

683
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: and then I found out that Troy was cast as Joker.

684
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: He and I were texting back and forth and it

685
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: was like, all of a sudden, it was like dude,

686
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: and then it was followed by oh dude, because we

687
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: didn't we didn't realize. We're like, this could go so

688
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: many different ways because we had grown up with Mark

689
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: and Kevin as you know, Joker and Batman, and it's

690
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: kind of like that's what we and only yeah, it

691
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, this could go really poorly for

692
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: all we know, like this could be really not well

693
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: received kind of thing. And yet much to like my

694
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: point earlier, it's like if I walked in there and

695
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: started Amanda why it was our our voice director on

696
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: that project, and if I had walked in with Amanda

697
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: and started thinking, Okay, but I gotta make sure that

698
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this, and Troy put it really well.

699
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: He said, look, everything that we had done was was

700
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: done in a way where it was like the points

701
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: on the horizon were the performances that were established by

702
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: both Mark and Kevin, and so everything that we were

703
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: doing was informed as far as that goes, so that

704
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: it would be believable to the player as an interactive

705
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: kind of experience, that this version would become what everybody

706
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: else had known to be those versions of these two characters. Um,

707
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: and yet it was it was Yeah, the more I

708
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: just thought, Okay, all I gotta do is just show up,

709
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: have faith in the quality writing and the production team

710
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: and Amanda directing me in a way that it's just like,

711
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: all right, if I listen and do what they want

712
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: me to do and they give me the thumbs up,

713
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: I've done all that I can do. And it's not

714
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: that it's like phoning it in or anything like that.

715
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: It's just like I'm just gonnaffeciate and focus on executing

716
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: to the best of my ability what they have said.

717
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: We're going to hire you to do this. And it

718
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: was like, it was just I had to focus on

719
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: that because I if I was to think about the

720
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: fact that this too big, it's too big if you do,

721
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: if you if you think of anything else, right, And

722
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: so it's that's what happens. That's why when those moments

723
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: I think where it's like Cary is crying, it's like

724
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: because there's there's this weird thing that happens, it's this

725
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: snap back to And I was just sharing a story,

726
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: a very funny story about the the It was one

727
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: of the actors. It was an older gentleman that did

728
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: the voice of Mickey Mouse for so long, and I

729
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: happened to be in a waiting room on the day

730
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: that the character Mickey was celebrating its birthday and that

731
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: actor had walked in to do something in the same

732
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: studio and was wearing a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt and all stuff,

733
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: and the young lady that was behind the desk knew

734
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: him and was like, hey, Hapy birthday kind of thing,

735
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, oh my god, that's right, it's Mickey

736
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: Mouse's birthday. And as this voice actor walks around to

737
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: sit down on the couch to you know, wait to

738
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: be called into their booth, I said, well, I guess

739
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to to wish you a happy birthday today, Mickey,

740
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: and in the Mickey voice, the guy and I'll impersonated

741
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: poorly sis like you know, gosh, thanks, you know, what

742
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: did you get me? And like says what did you

743
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: get me for my birthday? And my forty something thirty

744
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: something at the time, like inner child suddenly was like,

745
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: oh crap, I didn't get anything from Mickey Mouse, Andy

746
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: and these. And I'm like, wait a minute. I'm in

747
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: the room with the voice of and it's like and

748
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: and I'm a working professional along with him. Isn't this neat?

749
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: And I think all of those things happen all at

750
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 1: once where all of a sudden you're like, oh my gosh,

751
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: I am with Optimus Prime and I get to be here,

752
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: and yet my inner ten year old is freaking out

753
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: and my adult is going, oh man, here we are

754
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: like this is this is so incredible, and so it's

755
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: not until it comes out is well received and then

756
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: you get to see what kind of going Man I

757
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: loved this game, or man, you did a great job.

758
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: The highest praise I can get is where somebody goes

759
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: I was, I was along for the ride and believed

760
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: that that version could become Kevin Conroy's established version. And

761
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: it's like a great but I don't don't. It's like

762
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 1: I never can't. It's overwhelming. I mean it is, man,

763
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, we've we've you know, and it is you

764
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: You do that with with roles where it's it's kind

765
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: of like I can't. I did that with ThunderCats, where

766
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: I was like I can't think past the fact that

767
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm just going to be in the booth, like I

768
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: can't do any more than that. And it was Matt

769
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: Mercer and all these Larry Kenny was the voice of

770
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: Lionel coming up going like, well, it's you know, when

771
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: you have to do the ThunderCats, how are you gonna

772
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: be okay with it? And I was like, well, I

773
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: was until you just mentioned this and now now oh yeah,

774
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: so it was I know exactly what you're talking about.

775
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: Roger you said, you said something that's been sort of

776
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: a through line and the way that you approach your work,

777
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: and it's like extreme focus. Um, is that part of

778
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: the reason that you moved out to Idaho and like

779
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: sort of set up shop there? I mean, do you

780
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: feel like you get more focused being away from everything?

781
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean, or just more land for the money? Maybe

782
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: what's that or just more land for the money. It's

783
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: a combination of the two things. But but but honestly, um,

784
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: I have a dear friend of mine, I overuse the

785
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: word existential, like I gotta turn into a drinking game.

786
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: But I think what was happening is is that that

787
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: I was getting to a certain age where I felt like, oh, okay,

788
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: and I've had a couple of things that had happened

789
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: in life that were sort of like oh that's what

790
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: they mean by oh at least you got your health,

791
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: or oh wow, this is fragile, this existence thing is finite,

792
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: and and and I don't know that I necessarily felt like, oh, yeah,

793
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: these are the waters in which I belong in terms

794
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: of like Hollywood. And so I was really fortunate to

795
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: be accepted into and and mind a career and and

796
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: get to work in that environment. But I I did

797
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: find myself that the more I tried to kind of

798
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: dive into it and be like, Okay, well I gotta

799
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: do this now and do this and do this, the

800
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: more I I would leave those sort of scenarios with

801
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: a lot of like social anxiety over like stupid stuff

802
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: that I had said and me trying to be a

803
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: jokester and I was like, I shouldn't have made that

804
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: joke and that's done. That person is gonna think I'm

805
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: an idiot, and you know, and it's like I'm tearing myself.

806
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: And so it was giving me like a lot of like, oh,

807
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: this is not healthy. And the more time that I

808
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: spent outside of it and doing things that were like

809
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: pursuing hobbies and things like that, which for me, it's

810
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: the love of the outdoors. It's it's time away, it's

811
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: time observing nature, it's time photographing nature, it's time under

812
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: dark skies doing all these different things. The access to

813
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: that was more and more difficult for me to do

814
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: that based in l A. And once the pandemic hit.

815
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: The one thing that was honestly truly keeping me in

816
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: l A that entire time, because I had purchased this

817
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: place in Idaho in with the goal being that it's like,

818
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: all right, someday I'm gonna throw the parachute, I'm gonna

819
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: go retire, and I'm going to take a major hit

820
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: in my by to work. But the first thing I

821
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 1: did was put in the studio. Did all that because

822
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: I had to. I had retail clients at the time

823
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: that I had to make sure that when I was

824
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: traveling I'd be available for them. But I was always

825
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: just thinking, okay, retirement, because all the animation work was

826
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: you got to be in studio. We would all go

827
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: drive all over l A, going from studio to studio

828
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: to studio, kind of thing. Pandemic, Yes, the pandemic hit

829
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: and we started doing animation work from home, and I

830
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: can remember I was literally up here. I went. I

831
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: worked in the morning through a kayak in a truck,

832
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: floated a little river with my sister, went back, worked again,

833
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: and then through the kayak, back in the truck. And

834
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: when I met with my sister and one of her

835
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: friends and we floated the kaya, you know, in the

836
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: kayaks again, I went, what the hell am I doing?

837
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: Going back to l A. And within sixty days so

838
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: old moved and was like, I'll never get this opportunity again,

839
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: and I think it's just time to kind of look

840
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: at yeah it. I do focus better. I do find

841
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: myself when I go out and do the things that

842
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: are restorative for me. I'm I'm better at navigating this

843
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: industry and and keeping things into perspective in perspective, and

844
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: and having a healthier attitude towards the work and how

845
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: fortunate I am to have it, and that kind of thing,

846
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: and so yeah, it was. It was a combination of

847
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: those things. It's it's much easier for me to just

848
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: kind of dive in and just focus on the voiceover

849
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: side of things and and just be present and execute

850
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: for the job at hand, and not worry so much

851
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: about whether or not I'm going to get that rad

852
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: selfie of me in the booth with everybody, or that

853
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: kind of thing. It's it's not to it's not to

854
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: speak ill of that. It's just too say for me.

855
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: Things were starting to kind of progress in a way

856
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: that I was like, nah, I think I'm gonna go

857
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: do this, and and at the really set the trend.

858
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: You also set the trend because and now everybody has

859
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: scattered to the win well it disappeared. I would say

860
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: the pandemic set the trend and and I talked to

861
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: a number of other actors as well, that we're doing

862
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: this kind of a thing. I think existentially. Austin Roger,

863
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: I moved. I moved during the pandemic with my husband.

864
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: Say you want to move to Yeah? Well, I hear,

865
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: mean Roger, I hear that, I hear that story that

866
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: you tell, and you're like, how am I not doing

867
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: this more often? Where when I hear that, I hear

868
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: who kayaks twice in a day? Right? You kayaked? You're

869
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: read you kayaked twice two more times in that day

870
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: than I ever had in my life. And honestly, none

871
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: of this was anything that well to say nothing of

872
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: the career. I mean it's like I when people ask, like,

873
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, did you did you think this when you

874
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: were a little kid, I was like no. I in

875
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: my late twenties, I woke up on my thirtieth birthday

876
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: broke essentially and going, oh, I get it now, it's

877
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: on me, like that's on my thirtieth birthday. Seven birthday.

878
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: I remember just being depressed because I was in my

879
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: late twenties and I was just I just graduated college

880
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: with my bachelor's in screenwriting and was just directionless. You know.

881
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: It's like I was doing stand up scraping by you know,

882
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: working like serving jobs all that kind of stuff. And

883
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: on my thirtieth I woke up and I was like, oh,

884
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: I get it. Okay, it's on me. And I was

885
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: more inspired at thirty, but it was all like late

886
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: developing things and it wasn't as it's amazing though, that's

887
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: what August leventh does. But there you go, everything awesome.

888
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: So okay, we're both Leo's. Yes, if you believe in

889
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: that stuff, then that makes makes sense because you are

890
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: well you're also big you you mentioned so I very

891
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: quickly want to ask one things. But first though, and

892
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: we will get into this, because you are a big

893
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: nature guy, but you were also very much into astronomy,

894
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: not astrology. What we're talking about about astronomy and um

895
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: especially photography when it comes to that, and you would

896
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: you and Mary McGlenn, another another great friend of ours,

897
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: would be sending these pictures back and forth of it's

898
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: like this is the Milky Way. And then I'd go

899
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: outside in l A and be like I think I

900
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: see a star, no airplane. Um, so it was I

901
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: knew that's something that you. I mean again, I remember

902
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: here's a very quick story about how much I knew

903
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: Roger loved. This is my wife and I are always

904
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 1: looking to move to and Zilo is like our favorite

905
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: thing to look at. And we're looking back in Connecticut

906
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: and one of the homes that were for sale had

907
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: a giant telescope. And do you remember I sent you this?

908
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: Was like they instantly sent you the list thing. I

909
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: was like, it had like an observatorius sized like you

910
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: walk in like this, and and years ago the earth

911
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: was a multen mass, like one of those kind of things.

912
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: And I was like, I have to send this to Roger.

913
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: And it was just that was one of your loves

914
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: are still is one of your loves. So I mean again,

915
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: just nature getting you, uh, getting you out of l A. Yeah,

916
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: well it's honestly, it was just the reset. It's just

917
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: more like, look, I mean, with social media and what

918
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: we do and and how that can kind of recathoc

919
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: with your sort of inner you know monologue. Um, it's

920
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: really hard for me to like worry about whether or

921
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: not I'm growing my social media platform or deleted, deleted

922
00:46:54,239 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: all dude, I am three years like like Wilford, I

923
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: was on Twitter and it was like boom and then great.

924
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: I have ceased to start to I just I've been

925
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: listening too many books. And you see the data that

926
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: correlates between teenagers and depression and and the smartphone and

927
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 1: apps and and this comparison of the joy. It's awful.

928
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: It's awful. So my husband actually, he's very big into stoicism,

929
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: and it's so interesting that you brought that up because

930
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm hearing so much more about people going back and

931
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: looking at stoicism and stoics and what and the benefit

932
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: of that approach to life. Anyway, Sorry, sure, no, that

933
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: that's the same vibe that it's so funny the way

934
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: that there's a consciousness shift. Obviously that's happening. But I

935
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: do think in terms of the way it's relating to

936
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 1: your work as an animated character. I mean, you're literally

937
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: Captain America, you know, like you're for a living to

938
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: talk about life, to talk about life being finite. That

939
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: must be very interesting in your approach to your characters,

940
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: because yes, you are, you are doing these things that

941
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: are faithful, like these actions you're taking, these sounds you're making,

942
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: are literally you perishing, you know. So it is kind

943
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: of interesting to think about. It is and it's and

944
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: it's also like I think, no, but there's a there's

945
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: a there's a wonderful there is a balance that can

946
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: be struck somehow, and it's like that's where it's like

947
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: the difference is, I think by getting off of social media,

948
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: because I go, oh, how you know, access to people

949
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: that want to and maybe there's a balance or a

950
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: way of doing it to where it's like, okay, let's

951
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: let's admit that this is not real. But meeting somebody

952
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: at a convention when they hand you something that they

953
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: would like for you to sign because it belongs to

954
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: their son who is not well, and this big, buff

955
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: dude who clearly probably just drove paid whatever the admission

956
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: price was, is paying to have you signed your horrible

957
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: signature on this piece of plastic or something that means

958
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: something to someone else because that character resonates and you

959
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: represent a vocal, tangible embodiment of that character for them,

960
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: and they get misty eyed when you go, hey, like

961
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: get your phone, let's do a video, let's say hi

962
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: to him kind of think. And also it's like, and

963
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 1: so that's eight social media, No, that's that is too

964
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: human beings sharing a connection over something and kind of going, Okay,

965
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: this was this is what we're here for, not you

966
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: suck as the voice of bah blah blah blah. And

967
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm using the fact that I've I've disconnected you from

968
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: a human being and I'm using you as just your

969
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: name because I belong to this little group of people

970
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: over here who like this version of the story, and

971
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: therefore I can utilize that. It's like, all this, this

972
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: disconnect that we have as human beings is so unhealthy,

973
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: and yet there is this also weird part of like

974
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: my own ego that I have to struggle with with

975
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: going I'm not Captain America, I'm not Batman's down to

976
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: I came down to that too, where I was like,

977
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: what am I what you know? Oh, when I posted

978
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: this picture, I got this many likes, But then when

979
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: I posted this picture, I didn't get as many. What's

980
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: wrong with them? And wrong with what are you doing?

981
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: Like what you're You're you're literally trying to get followers?

982
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: Like that to me was like this has to be

983
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: And then it's just this feigned intimacy between you and

984
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: a group of people that you'll never know, that you'll

985
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: never meet, that don't care care about you at all, really,

986
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: And it's just like I would rather actually know three

987
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: people yes then not no, three million yes exactly. So

988
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: it's that kind of ridiculousness to me where it's like,

989
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: we can't do this anymore. But even the fact that

990
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: we're here, we all are doing what we are on

991
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: this podcast because of what we do. And yet and

992
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: yet I think they're I don't know, maybe we are

993
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: getting closer and closer and closer to let's look at

994
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: what happened at the oscars and and I'll just skirt this.

995
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: I think why things like that can create so much

996
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: of a very passionate response is because I think we'd

997
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: like to think that there's an ideal and that power, fame, money,

998
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: whatever it might be, like, you know, achievement, all that

999
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: stuff will fix us as people. And when we see

1000
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: two human beings very being, very human and very fallible

1001
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: and very imperfect, because both of the behaviors were just

1002
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: dumb from the get go, those are not a funny

1003
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: joke to begin with. There was a reference from a

1004
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: movie from one of the top comics. I was like,

1005
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: what was that ad lib? That was stupid? And then

1006
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: the behavior that followed, It's like, and then everybody's unsettled

1007
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: by this, and you want to go, yeah, but they're

1008
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: they're broken humans, just like everybody else. But we like

1009
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: to think of yeah, and the marketing and everything, and

1010
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: that's on a smaller scale what we do all day long.

1011
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: Look at me, I am very much into astronomy and

1012
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm very nature and it's like, like, I don't have

1013
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: days where I'm just like cranky and irritated, and it's like,

1014
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, and and so yeah, or guilt or shame

1015
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: or sadness or like all these things that come with

1016
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: this human experience. And yet we through social media, it's

1017
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: and through celebrity and all that kind of stuff. So yeah,

1018
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: the idea of of being honored to be a part

1019
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: of these roles in these characters, and you know, I'm

1020
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: sure Kevin and Mark and those guys struggle with it

1021
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: in some way as well. And yet we look up

1022
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 1: or it's like, oh my gosh, it's like it's optimist. Actually,

1023
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: I'll say this about Peter Culin more than optimist. Prime.

1024
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: I think one of the coolest things that happened was

1025
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: learning that he was the voice of the alien in

1026
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: Predator and it's like that that glottal that throwed like

1027
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: like that that was all him and and it's like

1028
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: and he does it and you're like, Okay, that's unsettling.

1029
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: It's like super creepy. But with those guys, and it's

1030
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: like and yet he's a you know, he's he's an

1031
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: imperfect human being, just like anybody else. It's like all

1032
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: that stuff that goes along with it. It's like trying

1033
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: to substrict that balance, I think is is what you

1034
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: see that a lot with with with super famous people

1035
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: that you know, suicide is obviously a problem in the country,

1036
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: but with the very famous people that do that, and

1037
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: you go, wait, but they had everything well, and it's

1038
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: that's the point is they obviously didn't. And it's people

1039
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: that think like if I just get famous, if I

1040
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: just have money, if I just get more followers, if

1041
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 1: I just get the right partner, if just then all

1042
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 1: my depression is magically going to go away, and it

1043
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: just doesn't. You just now have your depressed but you

1044
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: have money and a partner and every you're still it's

1045
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: if you don't fix the underlying problem, that's it. Well,

1046
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: we went way off trying to start to rada. One

1047
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 1: last question, one last, very important question for you, and

1048
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,439
Speaker 1: then we are going to bring in our special guest

1049
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: and read our scene for the week. Um. So here's

1050
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: the question that I have for you, and it's it's

1051
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: an important one one role that you've done that you

1052
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: want to be identified as. What would that role be? Oh,

1053
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean clearly, clearly the former narrator for says to

1054
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: the dress. That's I mean, yeah, I love that. You

1055
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: know that Chech Roger was the announcer first say yes

1056
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 1: to the dress. I think we did fourteen seasons, five

1057
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: different versions of the show, and then there was a

1058
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: producer that was working with us at the time who

1059
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 1: said she didn't like voice over, and within about a

1060
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: year I was no longer narrating the show. And they

1061
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: I think they also figured out what we can get

1062
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: the on camera guys to to do all of our

1063
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: little yeah, yeah, exactly, that's the one you're gonna pick.

1064
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: It's it's in America, Batman, Assassin's Creed. You're picking say

1065
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 1: yes to the dress without doubt. It's the safest choice

1066
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: for me too, because the minute I say any one

1067
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: of those, it's like, I mean, I'm sure you've seen that.

1068
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: You go and you go and you do something. If

00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 1: you if you show like a graphic of like characters

1070
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,799

00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: about one is not on there? You know kind of thing.

Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I'm gonna go say us the dress

1073
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: because it was just sort of like I wasn't like,

1074
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, dismissed. No one else has done it since

1100
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 1: part of our program where all we do now is

1101
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 1: make fun of you. Um. We play a little game

1102
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,800

Speaker 1: almost called her Lori Lori Laughlin and Christie and I

1104
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,440

1105
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: a garden to get to the mall so Christie can

00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: we are meeting different fun Woodland creatures along the way.

1109
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: Now we are switching this up a little this week,

1110
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. We've been doing this kind of ad

1111
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,399
Speaker 1: libby and it gets a little muddled because we're over

1112
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: zoom and it's a little more difficult. So instead this

1113
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: was written by the famous, infamous Wilfred L. Yeah, I

1114
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: wrote it myself, So if you hate it, if you

1115
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: hate it, Christie wrote it, if you love it, this

1116
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: was all me, Um, so you, if you don't mind,

00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: that got the pipes you can tell already, Bradley. Bradley,

1134
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: Port Orchard, Washington. I worked nice shift at a beer

1135
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: warehouse for seventeen years this July, and I do all

1136
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: my weird voices at work. When new hires come in,

1137
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm driving by him, I'm doing my voice as they

1138
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: like look over, like, what the heck? So that's the

1139
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: ultimate goal. Then the ultimate goal is to become a

1140
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: voice actor trying to like I was on a podcast

1141
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: a while ago and they said I sound like Roger

1142
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: Rabbit when I was calling in for data vice, and

1143
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: I was like, how do I'm like, I'm not absolutely normal,

1144
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: but I'm like weird and that describes everybody here. You realize,

1145
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: hello over there, Roger Rabbit. You know that's guys. Yeah, somebody,

1146
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: somebody's got some some game. It sounds like got some

1147
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: skill my old man voice. My face swells up like,

1148
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, brand here horror. Yeah, like I switched

1149
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: between the voices, have a conversation myself. I go to

1150
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: drive through this talk to the people order foods. I

1151
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: want two stubs, and I get there like I just

1152
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: want one. I just don't want to feel like I'm alone.

1153
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: I think that's fear though, right a little bit. I

1154
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: mean like it's a little bit of a fearful response.

1155
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: They don't know you, Brad, like we like we know you.

1156
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, all of a sudden there's two voices ordering

1157
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: and there's one guy in the car. I think you

1158
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: should good you do. What's your TikTok han? It's a

1159
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: Brad Bradley Meisner seven. I think I got I follow

1160
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: you on there, okay, cool, I'll go and see you.

1161
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: Then that's awesome. Like there's like a I do. I

1162
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: do filters on my face like a pony one and

1163
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 1: then like an owl animated sell that's so cool, good

1164
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: for you. I do because my face looks weird. I

1165
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: do things when I d go through the drive through

1166
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: as well. I always struggle with my weight, and when

1167
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: I was really heavy, I would go through the drive through,

1168
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: and I would invent a person I was also buying

1169
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: food for, because I'd buy so much food that I'd

1170
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: be like, all right, so give me the number one

1171
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: super sized, and in the number three and number six,

1172
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: and what did tim want? Oh, that's right, a number

1173
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: two and number four as well. So there was always

1174
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: a mythical person in the cart. That's a little, uh,

1175
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: a little, little, little little shot in my own psyche there,

1176
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: brad I would imagine a lot of people have done that,

1177
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: because I've done that. When I'm getting an especially complicated

1178
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: and embarrassing coffee order going, I just go like, oh God,

1179
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: I can't remember what she wanted. I just blame it

1180
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: on some fictitious girlfriend that doesn't exist where I'm just like,

1181
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, she really want to order a puff? Yeah

1182
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: that meat yep. I want a pink squirrel, or at

1183
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: least my wife wants a pink squirrel. Uh. And you

1184
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: are just like in the corner, just sipp in a

1185
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Shirley temple, try and love to shake in front of people.

1186
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Exactly So, Bradley, if you received the script we got here, um,

1187
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna be playing Lieutenant Wiggins. Lieutenant Wiggins is a caterpillar.

1188
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 1: You are more than welcome to, uh make Lieutenant Wiggins

1189
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: whatever you would like to make Lieutenant Wiggins um age wise,

1190
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: however you want to do it up to you were

1191
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: Christine and I of course are playing Ricky and Mocha,

1192
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: And just so you know, the stage directions will not

1193
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: be read, so we're gonna read it through just like

1194
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: a straight radio play, and we're gonna so go ahead, Brady.

1195
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: My question, My question is like the one part is mine? Uh,

1196
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: it takes him a while? Do I say that part?

1197
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, that is that

1198
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: is that's going to be you know, it's one of

1199
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: my line. One of the jokes is that that we're

1200
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: waiting for the general to come up, but he's a snail.

1201
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: So it's that's that's good. So I say that part though, right, Yes,

1202
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's one of your lines I've never ridden. No,

1203
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: that's great, No, it's it's it's it's a very important

1204
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: question because so anything under your name is gonna be

1205
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: your line, and anything under that is called a parenthetical.

1206
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: So like where it says Lieutenant Wiggins concerned, it just

1207
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: gives you a little bit of kind of direction on

1208
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: how you want to say the line. But no, it's

1209
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: an important question, especially if you've never read a script before. Yeah,

1210
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: like Bradley's, he's already being difficult, so I know that

1211
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: normally like an ensemble, like you know, that's awesome, Bradley,

Speaker 1: no animal ever got to from all by dying for

1246
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: its garden. They made it by making the other poor

1247
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: dumb animals die for their gardens. Uh, nothing about that

1248
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: is helpful. Also, kind of dark, My fellow animals, all

1249
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,520

1250
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:13,920

1252
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:25,960

1253
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,840

Speaker 1: you all admired the biggest, toughest malls. They played to win,

1255
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:41,360
